Schellen-Ursli
Up in the Swiss Alps, just above a small town, lives Ursli with his parents, their animals, and his best friend Sereina who often comes to visit. In order to survive the winter, they must make a deal with the unfriendly but wealthy store owner in the village, which puts them into debt. And as if things could not get any worse, Ursli receives the smallest bell of all kids for “Chalandamarz” and the kids make fun of him. Ursli finally decides to take matters in his own hands…to help his parents and to find the biggest bell…which is hidden in a cabin on top of the mountain. The adventure is on!!!
The film is in Swiss-German with English subtitles. It runs for 1hr 40mins and is suitable for children aged 7+.
Kids will receive a special picnic basket to snack from as they follow Ursli on his adventures through the beautiful scenery of Switzerland, and we will be pleased to share some Swiss wine with our adult guests.
